Chance Encounters: Abstract Drawing
Sunday, May 3; 1:30pm – 4:30pm
Instructor: Hannah Möller
You will dive into the fantastical through automatic-induced mixed media drawing exercises that incorporate chance, play, and surprise. You will learn how to use a variety of drawing-based art materials such as ink, charcoal, water-soluble crayons, adhesives, mediums, and fixatives. You will have the opportunity to play with frottage, life drawing, and collage to build new worlds and unlock hidden dimensions. You will leave with a series of abstract drawings and easy-to-apply modes of making, to unlock fresh visions in your everyday art practices. All levels are welcome!
